Engage consumers through immersive experiential sampling and get your products into their hands in a memorable way

Our experiential and event marketing activations immerse consumers in your brand, creating meaningful, hands-on interactions that leave a lasting impression. By engaging the right audience at key moments, we ensure your product is not just seen but truly experienced, fostering authentic connections and driving brand loyalty.

In a crowded market, experiential sampling is key to driving brand awareness and consumer engagement. Our tailored approach ensures your product isn’t just seen but experienced, creating memorable moments that leave a lasting impact. From festivals and major sporting events to high-footfall areas like train stations, we connect brands with consumers at the right time and place.

We provide passionate, professional staff to represent your brand—distributing products, engaging with consumers, and creating genuine interactions.

To elevate your presence, we also design, produce, and deliver branded elements such as sampling bins, A-boards, uniforms, and signage, ensuring every campaign is visually impactful and on-brand.

Using innovative store-mapping tech, we direct consumers to their nearest stockist, while inserts and visuals reinforce key messages. Post-trial, we gather real-time insights via bespoke surveys, helping you refine future activity and maximise ROI.

Our experiential sampling strategies build lasting connections, drive conversions, and turn trial into brand loyalty.

Event Sampling

Reaching diverse, high-impact audiences through experiential sampling at major events like Wimbledon, Boston Marathon and Park Run is simple with our approach. We don’t just hand out products – we deliver tailored, insight-led campaigns that place your brand directly into the hands of engaged consumers, right when it matters most.

From health-conscious runners to premium lifestyle seekers and international sports fans, our event sampling unlocks new audiences, boosts visibility, and captures real-time feedback. And just like always, we take care of it all – from strategy and staffing to print, logistics, and live reporting – making event activation effortless and effective.

Festival Sampling

Festival sampling is all about fun, freedom, and unforgettable moments – and we make sure your brand is right at the heart of it. From foodie-focused gatherings like The Big Feastival to cultural icons like New Orleans Mardi Gras, we build immersive experiences that seamlessly blend into the energy of the event, creating authentic, positive connections with thousands of relaxed, open-minded attendees.

Whether it’s a stand-alone pop-up or roaming teams engaging the crowd, we tailor each activation to reflect your brand’s personality and goals. As always, we handle every detail – from concept to delivery – so you can maximise impact, gather valuable insights, and leave a lasting impression long after the music stops.

Guerrilla Sampling

Guerrilla sampling in high-footfall locations like train stations gets your brand directly into the hands of thousands—fast. With commuters, travellers, and city-goers constantly on the move, these dynamic spaces are ideal for bold, high-volume product drops that feel spontaneous, relevant, and unmissable.

Whether it’s a quick snack for the journey or a morning pick-me-up, we turn everyday routines into impactful brand moments. Our agile approach covers everything from peak-time planning to eye-catching branded setups and trained staff—executing fast-paced activations that deliver real-time results.

We make your brand stand out in the rush, drive trial at scale, and create genuine engagement—right where it counts.

We provide pictures of the sampling in action, alongside detailed analysis that offers meaningful insights for better-informed decision-making.

Clear path to purchase

Using our innovative store-mapping software, you can target key event locations, festivals, and high-traffic areas near your retailers or stockists, ensuring all consumers who receive a sample have an easy path to purchase. We help drive consumers to buy either online or in-store by offering geo-located, step-by-step directions to nearby stockists, supported by tailored communications and a branded microsite.

Aligning your experiential marketing activation with an in-store offer or including a money-off coupon with your sample can further incentivise purchases and boost conversions
